Used as it should be, lots of dough spent on it to reflect the price. It's too raw for me but to the right buyer it will be a good one _________________Me? The 13th Duke of Wybourne? Here?

Probably the best replica out there, yes a bit too far for me. I followed his blog faithfully when making mine but kept to comfort spec. Must have been a tough decision to part with it._________________Porsche 944 S2 Coupe Guards Red

The memories will still be the there but the attachment to those memories will be gone, and I can't vouch for some of those great memories. A great drivers car and quite hardcore with it, it'll sell quickly but I would have thought £125k would have been a fairer price, yes a big price but some so called recreations don't even have the correct engine and they are similar prices._________________http://euroroadtripper.blogspot.co.uk/

He was/is a complete fruitcake/eccentric. I used to say he had 36 hour days when the rest of us had 24. I couldn't believe how much he achieved with his cars. Had a wife with kids as well.

A top man, because he lay under my 993 in the rain once, trying to sort a suspension problem.

Where is he now I wonder._________________Cayman Gen 1 Manual 2.7

I wonder if JZM bought it outright, or it's on SOR?

If it's the latter - and you're reading this Rich, a very genuine GLWTS

Yes, full-on committed and emotively involved petrolhead. I like the 36 hour day analogy, he packs it all in, still does.
The F car is where it's at for Jackal for the immediate future.

They own very little of what they sell.
They sold a 4.0 RS recently for 500k (sor) and maintained only 10k margin at it, 10k is still 10k but not anywhere near enough poppy to back it up in the event of a warranty claim. Suppose they work a number's game._________________" And that is what makes me a man of my time"

Similar but different to this car at the highly respected Border Reivers in Loch Lomond (link below). This car is pretty awesome and I am amazed it has not sold, I have seen it in the flesh and its virtually beyond any kind of improvement and judging by JZMs ask its a steal, why wont people come North of the Border._________________" And that is what makes me a man of my time"

That car's not even in the same ball park. But to add to why it isn't getting much interest.....a quick look on my phone and the advert is baba compared to the jzm advert._________________2000 Manual 996 C4 Arctic Silver Convertible

All that work and they fit replica wheels with budget tyres and don't get me started on the baggy trimmed front seats...

Jackals car is on a league above in detail and that genuine RS 3.8 motor is the icing on the cake.

I am sorry but I don't see the logic in that comment. I agree its not in the same ball park (price range) but that is my point. In my humble opinion I would have that over JZMs as its not too far gone mod wise, but crucially has the same effect._________________" And that is what makes me a man of my time"
